Just a quick post tonight of some of the roses which are flowering at the moment in my garden. I really MUST dig out all my rose labels as I can’t remember what these ones are. The first one below is my favourite so far, it begins as an almost red bud and changes colour as it opens, a cracker!
This yellow one is obviously in need of some plant food as going by the leaves it’s deficient in something..
They are all so lovely. I like the first one best too. Ian said it looks like lava and fire! But he’s partial to the really pink one!
Peggy,
That pink one was the first to flower and I was a bit shocked at how pink it is, it’s a climber too so it should end up all over the place.
Beautiful roses – are they fragrant?
Valerie,
Some of them are fragrant but you really have to get your nose close to them, I think if it was warmer there would be more of a scent.
I can smell them from here. We have a rose garden in Portsmouth, set in a building where The Cockleshell Heroes left from.
Jo,
That sounds like a lovely memorial garden. Portsmouth is one place I haven’t been (I think) although I have been to Plymouth.
Your blooms look perfect! I like the white and yellow ones best, but they’re all lovely.
Joan,
Yellow roses are usually my favourites and I have several different kinds still to bloom. I don’t know what has happened to my Paul’s Scarlet, it must be late and I think one of the yellows is a Paul’s something.
The photographs are so beautifully done. The roses exquisite. I gaped, I gasped…

Judith,
Thanks, with such lovely roses you can’t really go wrong, just point and click!
Beautiful roses. Can you take picture of your summer house?
Lorraine,
I will take photos soon and of the books in it. At the moment I have bunches of grasses hanging from its roof inside, hoping they will dry nicely.
That flaming one is a stunner!
Pearl,
It is great and it has plenty more buds to open.
